Minor fixing on the boat
Owning a Boat in Tromsø: A Few Tips for Boat Owners
As a proud boat owner of «Usynkelig..2,» I can tell you that owning a boat comes with its share of responsibilities. One key responsibility is ensuring your boat remains seaworthy—don’t let it sink!
The Reality of Boat Maintenance
Many of you DIY enthusiasts might know how optimistic we can be about time management. This is especially true when it comes to maintaining a boat, as my wife often reminds me. After some heavy waves in April, the driver’s seat of my 1997 boat decided to part ways with the floor it was screwed onto. Wear and tear are inevitable when you own and use a boat regularly.
For those visiting this page, you probably already know that boats require regular maintenance. To save time and hassle, consider renting a boat only when you plan on boating. It’s that simple.
A Quick Fix for a Common Problem
Returning to my boat and its maintenance, the detached seat required a quick fix. I headed to the nearest hardware store, bought a large aluminum plate, some extreme glue/sealant, and new sturdy screws to reattach the seat. This minor repair took about three hours and cost around 1,000 kr in parts and sealant.
On the bright side, this fix means the seat will likely be the last thing to break on «Usynkelig..2.»
Embracing Tromsø’s Unique Weather
As I write this on the 19th of May, snow is hitting the windows. We’re still waiting for the brief spring that usually graces Tromsø, hoping this winter won’t need two summers to transition into warmer weather.
